​@@rustykeeran3029Stone Cold was not an instant star either. People think he exploded right after his Austin 3:16 promo but it still was a bit before he became a superstar after his king of the ring win. Of course we all know about Rocky Maivia before he joined the NoD and became the leader. Point is, rarely is there a new member of the roster who has immediately gotten over with the audience and has the mic skills to go along with his physical talent.

LA Knight(Eli Drake) would be an amazing color Commentator once his wrestling days are over. But seriously, put a belt on the man already.

They pull the trigger within the next year he can have a historic legendary career just out of five years

The fact that he survived (and got more popular) after that awful Bray Wyatt feud shows how much people love him. YEAH!

This guy can very well entire his prime in a very short amount of time. It's a shame he's 39, but I think he can wrestle well into his late 40's, maybe even early 50's. He looks very good for his age, thought he was like 31.

he could definetly be a manager just not when he’s still got mileage left in the ring

SO glad he got to bring the Megastar back so that now he can have all the fans on the main roster screaming it with him, LA Knight, Yeaaahhhh!

Miss him in NWA but rooting for him to succeed in wwe

Stone cold had just 4 years consistent run in wwe 1997 to 2001 .. still he became legend , Rock had just 5 years consistent run 1997 to 2002 . Still he became legend , all it takes is 4 to 5 years and u will be legend forever if u are THE GUY ..

Sucks to see someone with so much potential to be recognized later in his career. Hope he stays injury free

I'm so glad they dropped the male model thing. Rick Martel tried it and, although it was funny, nobody took him seriously.

I'm 40 and LA Knight does not look 39, I honestly thought he was like 27.

Knight has an injury free carreer like Miz, he is safe, reliable, charismatic, old school style of wrestling within the ropes.

It really shows that booking people in bad stuff basically means they don't like you Keith Lee, Kross, etc

This guy should be US Champ.

One of my favorites on the current rouster. Dude is so good on the Mic, moves so good in the ring and you love to hate him and then end up loving him. I don't understand why age is even a factor. 39 is not that old anymore , and there are 25 year old wrestlers that had to retire because of injury or lack of conditioning. There is probably nobody better on the Mic atm.

"You can't wrestle at 40" Meanwhile Ricky Steamboat can still do arm drags in his 60s

I personally saw max Dupri as like a d Mob kinda boss. I guess Vince would have made him super goofy but the way I saw the character and how I would have booked him, I thought it could have been dope.

i would’ve loved to see him and Maxxine together now, i think she’s gotten a lot better with the Alpha Academy in such a short time.

Now over 40, he still can just go like nobody else. Considering he did most of the mocap for 2k23
